28. "RE: My first hex experience"

Reading through some old posts and thought I would answer what seems to be a question.
>>I didn't know that the bytes were written in reverse order
>>(having never got down to that level before)
>>At first I thought it was Sir-Techs way of encrypting
Nope not encryption...

Thought I might enlighten yall abit. The reverse order has nothing to do with Sir-Tech. The intel architecture is called "little indain" (Don't Know Why; Just Is) and the way it stores values in memory is to store them backwards: ie if a peice of memory is 4 bytes(32 bits) long Known as a doubleword and constists of the value FF00AB13 in memory one would find 13 AB 00 FF. 2 byte data known as a word is stored the same way, however a byte size peice of data is stored as a byte not backwasrds or anything like that.
Hope that helps your understanding of how data is stored in memory.
I never thought assembly language would ever come in handy
